Union street in Plymouth is fun when it go's off between the Royal Navy, Royal Marines and the locals.

Bring back the biff

The marines usually win... But if they were 'on duty' in the south stand, they would certainly sort the problem. I would happily stand with them.

Not sure about that.

Still it would be fun to watch members of the green death dishing out a few beatings

If you are every invited to an inter battalion boxing match go!!!!... They would all beat the crap out of each other if the ring was not separating the two groups... lol. Great fun..

Showing your age fellas. Airborne forces left Aldershot for Colchester 10 years ago and Union Street isn't anything like the fun it used to be. FWIW my money would be on the Booties - I was on a course with a bunch of newly qualifieds last year and they scared the hell out of me!

Funny thing is the 'Latics' probably behave better than the bunch of muppets who wave daft flags and claim to be 'Ultras'

Agree 100%

I see the WRL_Brigantes twitter page has vanished

I noticed that this morning as well, probably realized how embarrassing they are and have become.

maybe if the 'normal' or 'lesser fans' started to point and laugh at them in public they would really start to vanish

Or give them an excuse to start scrapping

Interesting point. Although I was at the Latics Huddersfield game on Sunday and kept an eye on the Latics fans after making the comment I did about the Brigantes heading off to support them.

There was probably about 100 of them who stood as close as they could to the Huddersfield fans and spent the entire game not watching the football but making aggressive chants at the Huddersfield fans. On the other side of the coin what I presume was the Huddersfield bad lads got as close as possible from the other side of the stewards line and did exactly the same. They all just wasted their entrance money. To be fair there was no trouble but without the stewards and police in the middle there would have been.

This is exactly what we don't get in RL and don't want. It seems to be what the Brigantes are heading towards.

I note that no-one has come on to defend what happened. Is this because the Brigantes took themselves off to their own little members only forum ?

That is spot on. I have been to many Leeds hudds football games and witnessed the same childish behaviour both sets of idiot fans spending the entire game looking at each other.

People claiming rugby league has more trouble than football are deluded. The only reason there are not mass brawls constantly is the heavy policing and stewards.
That said we don't want rugby to turn into football, I enjoy going to the bulls games and standing with the bulls fans (who my best mate supports) and not having to hide my shirt. The idiot eliment needs to be stamped out.

Also I have noticed more football hooligans drifting to support league. I know that when crusaders were in South Wales some of the Leeds football hooligan eliment traveled to the game trying to organise a fight with Cardiff city fans.

It needs to be sorted out, and quickly

because of cost or that we don't have/need an army of police & stewards to keep order (except for the laughable escort for the officials into the tunnel twice a game)?

Not sure about cost I think a bit thing is more and more football banning orders preventing them going to games etc
